I'm digging how Mustaine is finally utilizing his aged voice to the max in order to accommodate the lyrics and music.

[@robertpacho9955]

Chuck billy type vocals Love it 1🙃

[@daeye527]

Yeah Mustaine is old but he sounds kinda his younger self

[@elyzabethnieblas6418]

I died three days ago but that fuckin solo revived me

[@tepoztlitlacatl634]

Just in case you need another revival

[@PedroGranados-dm5ko]

Well, are you still alive? Otherwise, here you go.

[@assholecommenter1582]

A powerful riff shreds the introduction into the feel of the song, with a classic baseline buildup leading into a classy eastern solo. The verse riff is pulsating, the chorus perfectly leads into the short solo coming in at around 1:30. Another solo comes after the second verse/chorus, capturing both the class and musicality of Friedman with the sheer aggressiveness of Broderick. The writing ability of this band is astonishingly still going strong after all these years, probably due to the frequent shifting in band members who all bring something fresh to the table. While not as popular, as far as quality of music that keeps the fans coming back for more, Dave Mustaine has undoubtedly succeeded in usurping Metallica over the past decade.

[@keviaaar]

+RePluggedIn I am a Megadeth fan but sorry, this song is not THAT good. The verses are just plain boring, and only the intro is really interesting. Everything on Death Magnetic was better, and I don't have the feeling this is gonna be nearly as good as Endgame or System. But still, Megadeth is one of the best metal bands out there.

+Lenny D (Nachito) Amen brother! I can't wait to have my mind blown upon hearing the whole album. The excitement for this new Megadeth is insane.

[@MasterExploder61]

[@ytterbisciac6047]

[@kaansun8601]

to be honest, this is better than hardwired. Im a big MetallicA fan but this is true.

[@franrodriguez2363]

es mejor disco este que el de Metallica cierto

[@FraserAngus]

Shouldn't you say that it's 'Sad but True'

[@ezerotarola4061]

Megadeth ya se acerca a su final... me hubiese decepcionado que uno de sus últimos álbums no fueran lo suficientemente Buenos, y si también soy un gran fan de Metallica y considero que dystopia es mucho mejor que Hardwired

[@thecarolinaenderman2550]

Kaan Sun i sadly have to agree, the only song on hardwired that can match megadeths new stuff is spit out the bone. the old metallica is way better than megadeth but now megadeth is better than metallica

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

Kaan Sun SHITALLICA

[@pedromarques4420]

in my opinion, the two songs that came out "the threat is real" and "fatal illusion" are pure megadeth. "fatal illusion" reminds me a lot of "peace sells...but who's buying?" era, fucking killer. "fatal illusion" it's a mixture of "so far, so good...so what?" and "countdown to extinction" simply brilliant. they are fucking back this album has all it takes to be the best megadeth album since "rust in peace" and the best thrash album of 2016

[@pedromarques4420]

when i describe the song fatal illusion for the second time, it is supposed to be "the threat is real". sorry for the mistake

[@jasonalberts8114]

+Pedro Marques I knew what you meant.

[@pedromarques4420]

Jason Alberts​ ;)

[@coconutmango4422]

I like to believe that the songs Fatal Illusion and Never Dead are connected. Mainly because the ending riff of Fatal Illusion is the same as the pre-chorus riff in Never Dead. They also both mention something having to do with evil.

[@azoteanaruto]

Holy crap! The THRASH Is Real! I'm so hyped now! Go Kiko! Go Megadeth!

+Luke Lewis Absolutely bro. My sentiments exactly.

[@themostprofessionaldarylwe8169]

Threes a crowd I totally agree.

[@pedromarques4420]

the number four here. i think this is going to be the best megadeth album since 'rust'

[@lukenotskywalker2957]

+Pedro Marques As long as everyone buys this album in the first week it will be a number 1 Thrash Metal record. In 2016 that would be amazing! And well earned!

[@poormankowry]

this is giving me a very strong the system has failed vibe, but i quite like that album so im looking forward to this

[@kaffi13]

my first thought as well

[@TraitorPotater]

To me it sounds a lot like United Abominations. This album is going to be great!

[@MrDR7no]

+kaworu nagisa it sounds a lot like Never Dead from Th1rteen.

[@ilikethrash1]

Yeah this album is so conspiranoic like The System Has Failed

[@redbeard365]

My first thought was .. United Abominations Part 2. This album should be pretty heavy!

[@wanderlust.7441]

What are you talking about? Fallout 4 ain't dystopia, it is better than anything in real world. Atleast there you have to fight to survive, here, you must obey, which one is more dystopian for you?

[@lazereagle3878]

Best Megadeth song since Rust in Peace-era. I think this darker, more throaty approach to his vocals (almost Chuck Billy-esque, especially in the choruses) is absolutely awesome. I love the guy wether he sings through his nose or whatever oraphace, but this is a very good change.

[@SuperCrazyPsycho731]

[@totallyasimpsonjunki]

The intro with Farah Siraj is outstanding. Not very long but very potent. I really like how her voice builds up into a crescendo and relays into the riff. Yet another example of Mustaine’s musical prowess.

[@jasondavis6009]

Awesome guitar playing. Best guitar playing from a megadeth album yet and i own them all.

[@starmann30]

Really well done here. I got the feeling Dave Mustaine will get his Number 1 album with this. So far it sounds worthy.

[@clarketracey7054]

agreed

[@aryotaheri7421]

+Brent Stariha the sad part is, the worthies albums and songs often don't get to No. 1 because of the majority's shitty music tatse

[@jasonalberts8114]

+Brent Stariha I hope "Dystopia" indeed lands the #1 spot on the billboard 200 charts. I think its guaranteed to hit it on the rock charts, but getting the coveted #1 spot on billboard 200 will be a very cool milestone for Megadeth & thrash metal.

[@lukenotskywalker2957]

+Jason Alberts It will take at least 50k in the first week to get the number 1 spot.. If we all make sure we buy it in the first week it will achieve this goal. Megadeth is more than capable of that number. Hell Lamb of God got a number 2 with 50k.. They had a good week to release in which helped so it's very doable. Metal is one of the better selling genres in today's market and if the fanbase realise this then getting out favourite artists number 1 albums should be easier than it has ever been. Think about it. We can put Thrash/Metal back on the mainstream map :D

[@jasonalberts8114]

Luke Lewis I think 50k is totally doable.

[@enrique5977]

Kiko Loureiro > Chris Broderick. My opinion.

[@lukenotskywalker2957]

+SabuPtolemy Yup Broderick might actually hold the title of worst lead guitarist in Megadeth history. He added the least to the band.. And he was also there way to long. All those that came before where more interesting and produced better solos and contributed to the band more.. Kiko has blow Brodericks 6 years with the band out of the water with the first 2 songs he's been on! LOL!

[@JAVITHRASH1983]

+Luke Lewis Marty Friedman> Poland> Broderick> Al Pitrelli> J. Young> G. Drover. Some Broderick solos are great in Endgame IMO.

[@PotatoNo]

+SabuPtolemy I think Chris has bad reception due to his time with Megadeth as that "anonymous shredder", but the dude can really play.

[@lukenotskywalker2957]

+Zara thustra Yes who am I to have a opinion lol I mean fucking seriously what kind of argument is that?! Listened to the songs plenty and I can say with certainty that he is the most boring guitarist that's ever played with the band.. The best solo he did with them was 44 minutes (6 years ago). That's the closest he's come to producing something close to the quality of what came before. Kiko has style and feeling in his playing.. As is clear in both of his solos in these two new songs more so this one than Fatal Illusion.. So yeah doesn't matter how fast you can play.. If the solo isn't catchy and rememberable it's not a good solo.. And Megadeth have always been known for delivering on that front.. They dropped off with bland sweeping Broderick.. Drover produced better solos than Broderick he just didn't play them as well. Kiko has both qualities he also wants to add to the band instead of just accepting a paycheque.

[@JAVITHRASH1983]

Luke Lewis How The Story Ends is the best Broderick solo. IMO. I hope Kiko Loureiro be able to do a great job in Dystopia.
